AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The 2011 Volkswagen Polo presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 15 September 2025 at 36,412 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing a clean run of examinations across the available history. Recorded mileage sits at 36,412 miles against an approximate 15-year age, equating to roughly 2,427 miles per year. The MOT trail shows 31,605 miles on 4 October 2022, 32,403 miles on 28 September 2023, 35,366 miles on 4 October 2024, and 36,412 miles on 15 September 2025. Annual accumulation stays under 4,000 miles throughout, with no gaps exceeding one year between tests. The sparse, defect-free record gives little evidence of neglect, though the low use implies the car may have stood for extended periods. A failed test on 28 September 2023 at 32,403 miles carries no listed defects, suggesting an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a fault. No advisories appear for suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions at any stage. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody condition given the vehicle's age and likely static intervals. Verify brake caliper freedom and tyre sidewall cracking from prolonged standing, and confirm the 2023 failure cause with DVSA paperwork before purchase.
